Manchester, United Kingdom
Ruth is a dynamic and commercially astute property lawyer. She joined berg in February 2016 to head up the Real Estate Team. Her breadth of knowledge and experience is extensive. Whilst her clients span a broad base (investors, developers, Landlords/Tenants, charities, pension funds), she is particularly specialist in property finance. She is well known for her work on bespoke and volume lending transactions for major UK banks, short-term funders and peer to peer (P2P) (or ‘crowd’) funders.
Ruth has built up a strong client following and her clients often describe her as ‘more than just a lawyer’. She invests time in getting to know her clients and their businesses and tailors her advice to achieve the best outcomes. She is also able to bring ‘real business’ experience to her clients, having worked ‘in-house’ for a P2P lender. She is energetic and motivated and goes that ‘extra mile’ in order to deliver the very best client service she can.
